你在唐人街或者汉语教材上看到的很多中国元素,不能完全展现当代中国春节的样子。那些你以为中国人春节都做的事儿,有一些已经不像以前那么流行了,或者因为社会的发展而发生了变化。在这期节目中,我首先会给大家介绍一下春节习俗的变化,然后再教大家几个好用的拜年常用语。
A lot of Chinese elements you see in a China Town or in textbooks doesn’t really represent the Spring Festival in China today. Some of the things you would expect Chinese people to do during Spring Festival are not as popular as they used to be, or have changed due to the development of society. In this episode, I will first introduce the changes of the Spring Festival customs, and then teach you a few common expressions of Spring Festival greetings.
